Is this a scam, a moron, or just ignorance?

1. List the rifle as "Hunting Rifle".
2. Describe it only as a "Level Action".
3. Payment terms are "COD".
4. "FFL IS NOT REQUIRED".

There is a little more info on the gun lower down the page. Apparently it's a 10 shot! Probably just some really ignorant person trying to get rid of something they know less than nothing about.

In the photo it's got one of those 'long' 16-in barrels.

Maybe it's been 'de-milled' and isn't actually a firearm... Or maybe it's really old, but in really good shape. NOS.

Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.

History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

Who knows; maybe some widow got her grandkid to help her sell it and heard gunbroker was a good place to do so.

Maybe they're after FTF sale.... hence the COD, no FFL? Of course it says they have to collect sales tax. :?:

Does the seller just happen to be a Nigerian prince?
